Wormuth, a Republican, is seeking re-election to a third two-year term as supervisor. Deanna Stephenson, a Democrat who this week received the endorsement of U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-Brunswick, is challenging for the position.

"Mindy Wormuth is an outstanding representative for the people of Halfmoon. She's dedicated and works hard every day. She has repeatedly protected local taxpayers by preventing a town tax or highway tax. This is an incredible accomplishment considering the challenges and constraints we face with a struggling economy," Gibson said in a statement released by Wormuth's campaign manager. "I've had the opportunity to work with Mindy on many issues and she has consistently delivered for the Halfmoon community."

Wormuth has been supervisor since 2007 when she was appointed to fill the unexpired term of former Supervisor Kenneth DeCerce. This is the first election in which she is facing an opponent.
